It started last night. I had a fill 10 days ago and have been doing fine...last night I made the mistake of taking a tiny sip of water after I ate and I got sick and threw up....then today for lunch I ate and got sick......How would I know if anything slipped during this throw up fest I seem to be having all of a sudden.

I've had the same issue ... that is if I drink directly after a meal or eat the wrong thing and throw up, if I try and go back to solids right away I will keep throwing up.

I would suggest a liquid diet for 1 or 2 days and gentling getting back to more solid foods slowly.

You'll be fine ... just slow down and go back to liquids.

Thanks, thats what I have been doing. I guess getting sick last night just caused everything to swell up cuz I can only tolerate liquids or really soft stuff today..it feels like it did right after I got this fill. Thanks a lot...I feel better now :thumbup:

I'm having similar problems at the moment and have to recommend going to liquids for a day or two. I'm finding it quite hard as it's been several days now and I'm getting really hungry, in spite of my stomach feeling so tender. Good luck!

So I thought I'd update everyone--by the end of this past weekend I had had it with throwing up....I lost 7lbs but thats not the way I wanna do it...anyhow...so by sunday afternoon I had gone back to straight liquids no mushies...nothing but liquids....monday afternoon I was about to call my doc and tell him he fillled WAY too much and how sick I was of this stinkin thing and I thought I'll try 1more time b4 I do......lo and behold I am back to eating NO PROBLEMS!!!!!!! ITS AWESOME.....If chicken is dry I have a hard time but other than that its been great and the awesomer (if thats a word) thing about it is I feel like this may be my sweet spot...WOOT WOOT!!!! Back on the losing train I go

My band is very fickle too. Glad you are better.

i started throwing up alot too...about a month ago...sometimes i would throw up food and other times it would be hours after i ate anything and i would throw up clear slime and it would go on for atleast 30 min where my body would keep going into the motions of throwing up but nothing would come out...talk about exhausting and painful! both docs, pcp and surgeon, told me to take a zantac or something along those lines everyday and i havn't thrown up since! i would have never thought because it was never acidy nor did i have heartburn or anything.

I havent had the surgery yet, but I am definately looking into it. I have a BMI of about 61. I have an appt with my doc on Sept. 3rd and I am sure she will approve of the surgery. Are there any certain questions I should ask her? I have done alot of reading on the internet about the surgery and I think it's the right choice for me. I do have diabetes and high blood pressure. I also have sleep apnea but havent gone for a sleep study yet. I feel like this has to be it for me or I will die young like my mother. I want to see my kids grow up and I want to be able to live life to the fullest. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! thanks

i would ask about follow up care and support...i didn't think it would be all that important but it definetly helped me the first few months. they also assigned me a buddy to email. ask who will do your fills and how? sometimes nurses end up doing them or a pa...make sure you are comfortable with that. do they do them under fleuro or do they just feel around for the port. if you're concerned with the cost ask what all is covered under the amt they are charging you...like all your fills for a year or will you need to pay for each fill...ask who you can contact to find out how much so you're not totally freaked out when you get bill after bill. how long in the hospital? what will you need to accomplish before they will let you go home?

hmm that's all i can think of! =) hope that helped!
